diverts are usually a pain to maintain and get right, and in this case 
should not even be necessary to use them. We just need to fix the X 
drivers to use the kernel drm headers, for instance for -ati there is:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=da021c36bbdf3bca31ee50ebe01cdb9495c09b36

I removed src/radeon_drm.h from -ati and it built just fine, but the 
commit above ensures that the driver remains backportable.

Now intel just needs to fix their driver so that it'll build, and that's 
what is holding libdrm 2.4.2 back.

So, best would be to use this patch, and sort the mess after alpha2.
